Should I Shoot The Shooter? Poem by Richard Jarboe

Should I Shoot The Shooter?

Rating: 4.5


Should you shoot back, should you shoot back, should you shoot?
When the truth is you are under attack, should you shoot back?
Should you shoot the shooter, should you shoot?

Lying face down, gun inside your shirt,
Should you shoot back or keep your face in the dirt?
Should you shoot, someone might get hurt,
Should you shoot or keep your face in the dirt?

When a shooter's tries to shoot at the mall,
And your best shot is to hide behind a wall,
But if you're packing, should you stand tall,
Or crawl?

What would Wyatt Earp do?
How about Buffalo Bill?
Living in Dodge City,
You dodge or get killed.

What would Jesse James do,
How about Billy the Kid?
When it comes to firearms,
Remember what they did.

High Noon all aver again. If shooting is going on then you shoot, especially if there is only one shooter. If many (how many) maybe not. Good scenario. good write. I'll read some more of your stuff.

Yes, you should give a hoot! If you're packing, then shoot! If you save one innocent then they are bullets well spent!
